Why businesses are tired of raising salaries and in which professions it will be easiest to get a raise

Transport engineering was also included in the top 3 areas with the highest salary offers. In this sector, the average salary indicated in vacancies increased by 25% and reached 96,176 rubles per month. Rolling machines (+206%), polishers (+189%) and grinders (+146%) have become more frequently required in this area.

"The growth of salary offers in industry, especially in high-tech sectors such as the production of electronic and optical equipment, is due to several key factors. Firstly, there is a shortage of qualified personnel associated with the demographic pit of the 90s. Secondly, the active development of import substitution and automation requires specialists with specialized skills, which increases their value in the labor market," explained Andrey Kucherenkov, Director of the Working and Linear Professions category at Avito Jobs.

According to him, the implementation of large infrastructure and industrial projects across Russia creates additional demand for skilled workers.

Earlier, on March 6, it was reported that for the majority of Russians surveyed (75%), job satisfaction is a key indicator of a successful career. This is stated in the results of the study of the service "Work.ru". In addition, high earnings (71%) and professionalism (64%) are considered important.
